The Equalizer 3 is an uneven final entry in the vigilante trilogy that suffers from a slow and sleepy pace that makes most of the action feel unengaging or subdued to a fault, but it is made less mundane by an ever-charismatic lead turn by Denzel Washington, and his charming on-screen chemistry with Dakota Fanning.
The Dive has moments of light suspense and some fine performances, but a lack of intrigue for both its central concept and lead characters, as well as a consistently undercut sense of tension, leaves it hanging out to dry.
Heart of Stone is a generically plotted but nonetheless engaging spy action-thriller that bucks the trend of recent Netflix blockbusters by feeling like it was made with some semblance of a soul, thanks to some lively filmmaking, charismatic performances, and a script that injects some humanity into the formulaic structure.
